New York City – October 17 – 18, 2026

Step into Wild Possibility at The Hunger Project’s 2026 Fall Event

For too long, hunger has been treated as a problem to be managed rather than a reality to be upended. The challenge before us is not simply how to do more or better. It is how to change the direction of our planet completely.

In every community The Hunger Project works with, we have seen that transformation starts long before circumstances change. It starts when people are invited to imagine a future that does not yet exist and then choose to live and lead from that vision. At this year’s Fall Event, we invite you into that same space of Wild Possibility: the mindset we embrace when we stop letting today’s conditions define tomorrow’s future.

A world without hunger will not emerge with incremental change. It will become reality when we dare to ask bigger questions, challenge assumptions and pursue breakthroughs that redefine what is possible.

Mark your calendar. Invite your community. Join us in New York City.

Interactive Workshop: Rewriting the Story about Hunger

Saturday, October 17
1:00 – 2:30 PM
Luma Studios, 307 West 38th Street, #1505 | New York City

The most transformative change rarely begins simply with a new program or innovation. It begins with a shift in context—a new way of seeing that creates the conditions for such new possibilities to emerge. 

As The Hunger Project  enters its 50th year, we are asking a profound question: What mindsets must fundamentally shift so that a world without hunger becomes possible? 

We invite you to bring your hearts and minds to this interactive workshop. Together, we’ll explore the narratives, assumptions and mental models that have shaped the global response to hunger—honoring the stories that have brought us this far, while considering what is missing or needed now  to create the future we want. 

This is your invitation to step into the questions that this moment demands and to create the conditions from which new wild possibilities can emerge.

At the Table: Breakfast with the Board

Sunday, October 18
10:00 – 11:30 AM EDT
Luma Studios, 307 West 38th Street, #1501 | New York City

Join fellow investors and members of The Hunger Project’s Global Board of Directors for breakfast and conversation as we look ahead to what’s next.

Engage directly with Global Board members and executive leadership about the organization’s strategic priorities, global direction, governance and financial stewardship. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and share your thoughts during an open conversation about the opportunities and challenges shaping our future.

We hope you’ll leave with renewed inspiration for the role each of us plays in creating a world without hunger.

What Makes This Weekend Unlike Any Other?

• You’ll hear from global leaders who support communities to transform themselves from the inside out—not through charity, but empowerment.
• You’ll connect with investors and changemakers who stand in the firm belief that a world without hunger is possible and who are choosing to act.
• You’ll gain clarity about the moment we’re in and the role each of us can play in creating a world where everyone thrives.
